Kitchen extract cleaning across RH14: what to expect
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in RH14, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. Common call-outs are for heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and discharge points.
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Kitchen extract cleaning around RH14
From Billingshurst, Wisborough Green and Loxwood to its smaller places, RH14 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
We work across London and the South East, and RH14 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in RH14.
Billingshurst: Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Billingshurst Unitarian Chapel, or anywhere in Billingshurst, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Billingshurst Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Managing agents and facilities teams in RH14
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
FAQs for RH14
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is RH14 in your area?
Yes. We work in RH14 and across West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
